"St. Joseph's Hospice provided information that was helpful to me in caring for my wife who was terminally ill. It's been tough, but support from Hospice has helped ensure that she was properly cared for."

Supporting Our Children & Youth!

With visiting limitations in hospitals, hospices and long term care facilities, as well as physical distancing, families are facing additional challenges when a loved one has a life limiting illness. The Caring Hearts Children’s Program at St. Joseph’s Hospice has created a resource with some activity suggestions you can do with your child or youth to encourage connection during times when visiting might be difficult. The blog “What’s Your Grief” also offers some suggestions on how to stay connected when you can’t be with a dying family member.

If you would like more information regarding supporting children and youth when a loved one is dying, please contact Orley Culverhouse, Caring Hearts Children’s program coordinator at oculverhouse@sjhospice.ca
